TL;DR: It has been accepted that MVD can provide the highest rate of long-term patient satisfaction with the lowest rate of pain recurrence, and Microvascular decompression is the surgical procedure of choice for the treatment of medically refractory TN.
Abstract: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a common pain syndrome and is characterized by recurrent episodes of intense lancinating pain in one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve. Neurovascular compression (NVC) has been considered as the main cause of TN in the root entry zone (REZ) of the trigeminal nerve in the cerebellopontine angle cistern. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the surgical procedure of choice for the treatment of medically refractory TN. MVD has also been shown to provide pain relief even in patients without visible neurovascular compression. Additionally, it has been accepted that MVD can provide the highest rate of long-term patient satisfaction with the lowest rate of pain recurrence. We did, systematic review of the subject and also our own experiences.

01 Jan 2004TL;DR: Findings indicate that kidney grafts with multiple arteries may be used with excellent results in recipients of single-artery grafts.
Abstract: Anastomosis of multiple renal arteries in living donor kidney transplantation is technically demanding. Previously this condition was considered a relative contraindication to use of the donor, due to an increased risk of vascular and urologic complications. We conducted this retrospective study to determine the prevalence of multiple renal arteries in kidney transplants and their relation to graft and patient survival acute tubular necrosis, as well as vascular and urologic complications for comparison with the outcomes of recipients of single-artery grafts. Among the 1425 patients who underwent renal transplantation at our center, between November 1975 and March 2003 the present analysis concerned the most recent 1095 recipients. Seventy-nine (7.2%) cases required multiple-artery anastomoses (group I) and 1016 (92.8%) a single-artery anastomosis (group II). There were no significant differences between groups I and II with respect to creatinine clearance at 1 year, cold ischemia time at 1 year, or serum creatinine values at 1, 2 or 5 years (P <.05 for all). There were also no significant differences between the groups with respect to rate of posttransplantation hypertension (P =.67), acute tubular necrosis (P =.55), or number of acute rejection episodes (P =.34). The respective graft survival rates at 1 and 5 years posttransplantation were 95.1% and 73.2% in group I and 95.0% and 79% in group II. The corresponding patient survival rates were 95% and 88% for group I and 97.1% and 83.1% for group II. These findings indicate that kidney grafts with multiple arteries may be used with excellent results.

TL;DR: The QTc among SH cases was detected and remained significant for the whole group as well as the two subgroups, and differences in QTC were corrected when TSH levels of >10 mIU/l returned to normal.

TL;DR: In the case studies, the results obtained by using the combined DoE-TOPSIS method are almost corroborated by those derived from conventional multi attribute decision making (MADM) methods which prove the applicability, potentiality, simplicity and flexibility of this method in making company ranking.
